Having moved into sole possession of first place in the Northwest Division, the Calgary Flames look to extend their lead when they meet the Edmonton Oilers in the season-series finale of the "Battle of Alberta."

Calgary won back-to-back games for the first time since March 2-4 with a 6-3 win Friday over Colorado. Winning the division would ensure the Flames one of the top three seeds in the playoffs.

Calgary currently has the fourth-most points in the Western Conference. The Flames own a two-point lead over both Colorado and Anaheim, are three ahead of seventh-place Vancouver and four in front of Edmonton, which holds the eighth and final playoff spot.

Chris Simon, Craig McDonald and Daymond Langkow scored in the second period as Calgary erased a 2-1 deficit.

"We came out in the second and played unbelievable," Donovan said. "Guy like MacDonald and (Byron) Ritchie and (Simon) and Chucky (Kobasew) and all those guys were flying around and generating a lot in the offensive zone. That's what we've got to do to get into the playoffs."
